20th Century Studios’ “Alien: Romulus” has finally landed in theaters, showcasing spine-chilling suspense, a gripping storyline, and the petrifying return of the most terrifying life-form in space – the Xenomorphs.
Set on a desolate, alien-infested planet, the latest installment of the Alien franchise delivers a harrowing tale of survival.

Speaking about one of the most incredible monsters ever seen on screen, Director Fede Alvarez highlights that “there’s an aspect of these creatures that’s just so terrifying, that are made of nightmares, that’s just so unique.”
Spike Fearn, who plays the role of Bjorn, shares his thoughts on how “Alien: Romulus” would resonate with today’s audiences: “If you’re like a true fan of, especially the first two (“Alien” and “Aliens”), I think you’re just gonna love the movie. I think that Fede (Alvarez) captured that very well.” Echoing this was Archie Renaux, who plays Tyler, “definitely giving some nostalgia for some people, as well, these cool little nods,” he says. Meanwhile, Isabela Merced, who plays Kay, adds, “and if you don’t know the movie, it’s all the better because then you get to experience it for the first time.” Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, and Aileen Wu also star in the film.
